Abstract
Description
Claims (15)
- An osteotomy jig (10) comprising a positioner structure (12) provided with bores extending therethrough,
characterized by:
said positioner structure (12) having formed therethrough parallel first and second holes (36a, 36b), with each hole defining a longitudinal axis;a first rod (43a) extending outwardly from the positioner structure (12) adjacent the first hole (36a), and extending outwardly from the positioner structure (12) in a jig plane (14) which is normal to the longitudinal axis of the first hole; anda second rod (43b) extending outwardly from the positioner structure (12) in a predetermined fixed angular relationship relative to the first rod (43a) adjacent the first hole (36a), diverging from the first rod (43a) and extending outwardly from the positioner structure (12) in the jig plane (14);a third hole (44a) formed in and extending into the positioner structure (12) and lying in the jig plane (14), wherein the first rod (43a) is inserted into the third hole (44a);a fourth hole (44b) formed in and extending into the positioner structure (12) and lying in the jig plane (14) at the acute angle relative to the third hole (44a), wherein the second rod (43b) is inserted into the fourth hole (44b); anda fifth hole (44c) formed in and extending into the positioner structure (12) and lying in the jig plane (14) at approximately a 30 and 15 degree angle relative to the third and fourth holes (44a-44b), respectively;wherein the first and second rods (43a-43b) define an acute angle of approximately 15 degrees and thereby define the jig plane (14) normal to the longitudinal axis of the first hole (36a). - The jig (10) of claim 1 wherein:the jig (10) is constructed for use on an animal with a hock joint (46), tibia (16), tarsus and metatarsus (24);the first rod (43a) is extendable toward a distal region of the metatarsus (24a);the second rod (43b) is extendable toward a proximal region of the metatarsus (24), thereby aligning the jig plane (14) with respect to a long axis (22) of the metatarsus and placing the first hole (36a) substantially perpendicular to a sagittal plane of the animal; andthe first hole (36a) is constructed for placement over a desired portion of the tibia (16) to serve as a guide to locate a curvi[a]linear cut axis (27).
- The jig (10) of claim 2 wherein the first rod (43a) has an extent that allows it to be positioned over the hock joint (46) and the second rod (43b) has an extent that allows it to be directed toward the metatarsus (24).
- The jig (10) of claim 2 further comprising a first link (52a) for linking the jig (10) to the desired portion (20a) of the tibia (16).
- The jig (10) of claim 4, wherein the second hole (36b) is constructed for placement over a distal portion (20b) of the tibia (16) relative to the desired portion (20a).
- The jig (10) of claim 5, further comprising a second link (52b) for linking the jig (10) to the distal portion (20b) of the tibia (16) so that, after a curvalinear cut (19) is made in the tibia (16) with a cutting apparatus, the jig (10) is usable to hold neutrally the two portions of the tibia (16) relative to one another while the desired portion (20a) of the tibia (16) is rotated correctively with respect to the distal portion (20b).
- The jig of claim 6 wherein the first and second links (52a-52b) each includes a corresponding pin.
- The jig (10) of claim 1 wherein:the positioner structure (12) comprises a first member (28b) and a second member (28a) that are pivotable relative to one another;the first member (28b) comprises a first link (52a) for linking the jig (10) to a desired tibial bone section (20a); andthe second member (28a) comprises a second link (52b) for linking the jig (10) to a distal tibial bone section (20b) so that, after the desired section is cut from the distal section, the jig (10) is usable to hold neutrally the two tibial bone sections relative to one another while the desired tibial bone section is correctively rotated with respect to the distal tibial bone section.
- The jig (10) of claim 8 wherein the first and second links (52a, 52b) each includes a pin.
- The jig (10) of claim 1 wherein the positioner structure (12) comprises:a first member (28c) through which the first hole (36a) extends; anda second member (28a) operatively corrected to the first member (28c), and from which the first and second rods (43a, 43b) extend.
- The jig (10) of claim 10 wherein the positioner structure (12) further comprises a third member (28b) operatively connected to the first member.
- The jig (10) of claim 1 wherein the positioner structure (12) comprises:a first, a second, and a third member (28a-28c), with the first and second members (28a, 28b) pivotally connected to the third member (28c), wherein the first, second and third members are coplanar and define a positioner plane that is parallel to the jig plane.
- The jig (10) of claim 1 further comprising:a first set screw communicating with the third hole (44a) for fixing the first rod (43a) relative to the positioner structure (12); anda second set screw communicating with the second hole (44b) for fixing the second rod (43b) relative to the positioner structure (12).
- The jig (10) of claim 1 wherein the third and fourth holes (44a, 44b) are tapered so that the first and second rods (43a, 43b) are held in the third and fourth holes (44a, 44b), respectively, by an interference fit.
- The jig (10) of claim 15 wherein one end of each of the first and second rods (43a, 43b) is tapered to conform approximately to the third and fourth holes (44a, 44b), respectively.
